KANSAS CITY, Mo. –  The second day of PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Team Series competition in Kansas City, Missouri, featured crucial wins for the Missouri Thunder and Ariat Texas Rattlers. Meanwhile, the Arizona Ridge Riders overtook the No. 1 rank in the regular-season standings, and the Kansas City Outlaws remain in the hunt for their first game win during their three-day homestand inside T-Mobile Center.

After making history as the first team to win a game and an event in PBR Teams, the Missouri Thunder added another accolade to their resume, becoming the first team to secure a win without scoring first. The team’s first-round draft pick Colten Fritzlan delivered a walk-off score to lead the Thunder past the Austin Gamblers.

Winless until today, the Ariat Texas Rattlers knocked off the then-No. 1 Carolina Cowboys to earn the team’s first game victory. En route to the golden finish, the Rattlers registered three rides, the first time in any game they covered more than one bull.

The Arizona Ridge Riders ascended to the No. 1 rank in the Team Series standings after edging the Oklahoma Freedom by one ride score.

In the final game of the night, the Kansas City Outlaws were again denied a hometown win as both they and their Nashville Stampede opponents added losses to their records following a 0-0 tie.

PBR Outlaw Days will conclude Sunday, August 7 at 11 a.m. CT. Tickets are still available and can be purchased online at AXS.com, T-MobileCenter.com and PBR.com, or by calling PBR customer service at 1-800-732-1727.

Ariat Texas Rattlers: 257.25
Carolina Cowboys: 0

The Ariat Texas Rattlers, who had not ridden more than one bull in any game this season, rode three tonight in Kansas City to win their first PBR Team Series game this season. Punctuated by a score for a 47-year-old PBR World Champion, the Rattlers stunned the then-No. 1 Carolina Cowboys, 257.25-0.

Riding for the Rattlers in the team’s first out inside T-Mobile Center Saturday night, Rafael Jose de Brito (Potirendaba, Brazil) quickly put the Fort Worth-based outfit on the board, covering Little Voodoo Jacket (Lari Crane/Gene Owen) for a crucial 87 points. While the Carolina Cowboys kept their roster unchanged from the start of regular-season competition, with reigning PBR World Champion Daylon Swearingen (Piffard, New York) remaining the roster’s leadoff rider, Head Coach Jerome Davis’s strategy would not work tonight. Although Swearingen had yet to buck off in four outs in PBR Team Series competition, he was brought down in a close 6.53 seconds by Nomad Max (Crooked Crown Bucking Bulls/Braswell).

Not missing a beat, the Ariat Texas Rattlers grew their lead as the second frame got underway. First-round draft pick Cody Jesus (Window Rock, Arizona) was a dominant force atop Lone Survivor (Whitman Bucking Bulls/Jenkins Cattle Co.), scored 87 points and growing the Rattlers’ lead to 174 points. The Carolina Cowboys again failed to respond, with Ramon de Lima (Rio Branco, Brazil) brought down by Baby Gangster (Cooper/Scruggs Bucking Bulls) in a swift 3.18 seconds. With a two-ride lead, the Rattlers had the chance to clinch the game win in the third frame but fell just short after Australian sensation Brady Fielder (Clermont, Queensland, Australia) was awarded a re-ride in his initial showdown with Batter Up (Crooked Crown Bucking Bulls/Braswell Bucking Bulls).

With the chance to change his team’s momentum, Mason Taylor (Maypearl, Texas) could not right the ship for the Cowboys, beaten by the unridden JoJo (Gene Owen Bucking Bulls) in a heartbreaking 7.46 seconds. The fourth frame then brought the second potentially game-winning out for the Rattlers, this time a showdown between 2002 PBR World Champion Ednei Caminhas (Indaiatuba, Brazil) and Dr. Campbell (Nancy Haverty/Clay Struve/Dakota Rodeo/Chad Berger). The 47-year-old was a picture of perfection atop the powerful animal athlete, bringing the Show Me State crowd to its feet as he reached the requisite 8 for a crucial 83.25 points.

With the Cowboys having two outs remaining, the Rattlers clinched the win with a combined 257.25 points from their three qualified rides. As the game progressed, no rider for either team was successful, with the final scoreboard reading 257.25-0 to bring the Rattlers their first victory.

On the final day of competition for PBR Outlaw Days, the Rattlers (1-3) will look to continue their red-hot momentum when they play the Austin Gamblers (1-3), while the Cowboys (2-2) will attempt to reclaim their winning form when they take on the Oklahoma Freedom (1-3).

“First of all, I say thank you God and to all of the team behind me, pushing, yelling for me, and then all the crowd,” said Ariat Texas Rattlers’ Ednei Caminhas. “Age is just a number. I love bull riding; bull riding is my blood. I’m here because God put me back over here. If I’m feeling good, I’m going.”
